This is one of the great Burgundies of 2002. It shows the power of the year, with huge black fruits and dense tannins. But it also shows the charm, with ripeness that promises a precocious development as well as long aging.

Beautiful, aromatic wine, with raspberry fruit floating above the spice and toast. This is shot through with acidity and some dense tannins, but above all it is the piercing fruit that dominates. One of Jadot’s signature wines, it is wonderful, with considerable aging potential.

A big, powerful, smoky wine that exudes great jammy fruits, flavored with dark cherries. It is solid as well, promising years of development with intense tannins and a streak of acidity.

With entrancing smoky aromas, this is a ripe, intense and powerful wine. The tannins are dry, contrasting with the black fruit-juice flavors, black chocolate and a dry final taste. For long-term aging.

New wood aromas dominate this powerful wine, which shows how much time it needs to age. It also has concentrated, juicy black-cherry and plum flavors and lovely acidity. This wine is made from fruit sourced from a two-acre parcel in the Champeaux premier cru.

Made from fruit sourced from one of the finest premier crus in Gevrey-Chambertin, this is a closed wine initially. Then its rich black-fruit flavors explode, yet the wine still retains its serious, tannic character. The structure promises that this complex bottling will age well.

As so often with wines from Gevrey, this is huge and structured. It is packed with firm, dense, solid fruit, but tempered with ripe tannins.

A powerful, brooding wine, with huge, red fruit flavors. From one of Gevrey’s most famed premier cru vineyards, high on the slope above the village, this is going to develop into a stunning wine, with the complexity and richness that is a signature of Jadot’s wine. Imported by Kobrand.
